Question

If anyone is familiar with the fql query, why am I getting this error for the next query:

https://api.facebook.com/method/fql.query?query=SELECT%20post_id,%20actor_id,%20target_id,%20message%20FROM%20stream%20WHERE%20source_id%20=%20302056140380%20AND%20updated_time%20%3E%201111111

This is the page:https://www.facebook.com/Inna?sk=wall
All I want to do is to retrive the last posts from Inna’s wall.

Thank you very much;

You need to provide a valid access_token with the FQL request even though the data is public. You can test it here. You won’t need to have any permissions granted to access the feed, but you will need to provide the token.

You will need an access_token of type “Any Valid” as defined here. In short, it means that you can use any access_token that hasn’t expired. One easy to obtain access_token is an app access token which you can obtain by going to:

https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_tokenclient_id=YOUR_APP_ID&client_secret=YOUR_APP_SECRET&grant_type=client_credentials

You will find YOUR_APP_ID and YOUR_APP_SECRET under your created apps page (or you can create one there if you don’t have one).

When you provide the app id and secret to the oauth, you will receive an access_token which you can use for the request until the token expires.
